Free Christmas Craft Idea For Kids
Children like Christmas crafts a lot. Santa craft ideas for kids are a fun and relatively easy way to spend time with your children during the holiday season. Pick from a variety of our Christmas craft-decorating, free ideas.
SANTA PICTURE:
If you are looking for Christmas crafts and recipes geared for preschoolers, this picture-making activity is a good place to start. So, let’s begin creating Santa’s pictures from scratch. There are many different kinds of coloring books with Santa themes sold during Christmas. Get Santa’s picture from one of those books. Cut it out, and place Santa’s picture in the center of a sheet of thick, white construction paper. A glue stick will do fine to fasten it to the paper.
Color the picture with colored markers. Once the picture is finished, use cotton balls to serve as Santa’s beard, and one ball of cotton at the tip of his red hat. You can use black buttons to serve as Santa’s eyes and a red bead button for his nose. Decorate the rest of the area of the white paper by drawing candy canes or trees.
When the picture is finished, your children can sign their names right under Santa’s image. Take a piece of heavy cardboard and secure the picture to it. Put the picture in a frame to protect it. Place this frame in a memorable area of your house for all to look and admire.
SANTA CHRISTMAS CARDS:
Making Santa Christmas cards is another craft idea your kids will enjoy. Take a piece of white construction paper and measure the paper to a size of 5×7 inches. Cut the construction paper to that size. Fold the construction paper in half, either horizontally or vertically. Encourage your children to draw their own version of Santa on the front cover. Use crayons or colored markers.
After the picture is finished, your kids can write Christmas messages on the inside of the card. Homemade Christmas cards are wonderful to display in your home or send to relatives and friends. You can even add this to your Christmas craft-a-day calendar; it’s a great craft to do with your kids or students.
MAKE A SANTA PLATE ORNAMENT FOR THE CHRISTMAS TREE:
You’ll need crayons and markers; cotton balls, a dinner-sized paper plate, and color sparkles. Draw Santa, without his red cap, on the plate using the crayons or markers. Add the cotton balls for his beard. You can even glue the cotton balls into a V shape so that Santa’s beard hangs off the plate. The cotton balls can also be used for Santa’s hair, too.
Use a blue marker to color in Santa’s eyes, and a black marker to draw Santa’s glasses. Use red food color on a cotton ball to make Santa’s nose. You can color the rim of the plate with red or green and add color sparkles to it. Finally, place the Santa plate on the tree by inserting an ornament hook at the top of the plate.
As you can see, there are so many different ways to involve your kids in creating, making, and decorating Santa Christmas ornaments, pictures, and cards.
